As always, the seasons had changed once again. The sweet smells of fresh flowers, cook outs and the warm touch of the sun had finally gone away. Spring and summer, both long since passed all the months ago. The fall had passed as well. The beautiful falling brown and orange leaves off the trees as they went into their deep sleep. Cities and towns turning into winter wonderlands as the snow of winter had finally come and settled in. 

For most, this isn’t anything special. However for two young cubs, this was the perfect time to hangout and enjoy some much needed quality time together again. Ever since their time together during the summer, they hadn’t had the time or freedom to be together as they wanted. Just around the fall, they both had gotten into school and were busy learning the basics of what they needed in life. 

Cassie, a young red fox cub with a lot of personality, was enjoying the experience. Learning new things, meeting and making more friends. The little cub had worked her way up to being one of the most popular girls in her class without even trying. During recess, many of the girls would try and invite her over to play games or play with some of the toys they had snuck into school for recess. Cassie however spent most of her time with her one true friend, Thomas.

The raccoon was just around the same age as her, maybe a month or two younger, neither were really sure. For them, it didn’t matter. Thomas has been her best friend for as long as they could remember. Playing games, doing stuff to mess around at home or just being around one another in general. If they could play together, that’s all that really matters.

While he wasn’t as popular as Cassie, Thomas had built up and made some new friends during 1st grade. The young cub had grown a bit more out of his shell, with Cassie’s help no less. One day when they were all playing out in the snow, she was surprised to see him start one of the funniest snowball fights the school had seen all year. Every kid in the playground got involved and it felt like the fun would never end until the teacher at the time came to bring everyone in.

While she never said it, Cassie was proud of her best friend for putting his foot out there. She even saw some of the other boys in the school laughing with him as they talked about whatever boys talked about. 

The following months almost became a blur. Every day they’d learn something new, do something different or find some way to pass the time until they could go home or the weekend finally came around. When they weren’t learning or doing something different in school, the two cubs would find something to do together. They really didn’t understand why, but they enjoyed being around each other more than they did the other kids. 

Was it because they were best friends? Or was it something else? 

They didn’t know.

As fast as school started, the two of them found themselves back home for the holiday break and being able to take some well deserved time together.
It was during this time that Cassie’s mother had finally given birth to a happy and healthy baby girl! Named Tammy, Cassie was both excited and scared to be a big sister. She was used to being an only child so far, even when spending time with Thomas and his family, feeling less like a family friend and more like just… Family. Even if his brothers acted like a couple of dorks sometimes to the both of them.

Thomas, with all his experience with being the youngest, was more than happy to help her out. The young raccoon told her the best ways to make her sister happy, what to watch out for and how to watch out for her. He’s even volunteered to help her out whenever he came over or had to stay when either of their parents had to go someplace and they were dropped off at the others home. He even confided to her that his brothers did and do the same things for him when she’s not around. The fox still didn’t believe him, no matter how many times he’s said otherwise. 

That being said, Thomas enjoyed being the older sibling for a change. Not that he really complained too much over being the youngest, it was just a nice change of pace. 

It was during the mid afternoon when Thomas came over. It was extra chilly so he had to wear an extra layer of clothing to protect himself from the cold. When he arrived he was greeted to the site, and feeling of Cassie practically tackling him in a warm hug. 

	“Welcome!” She greeted with the constant bubbly smile she always wears. Thoms couldn’t stop himself from laughing as she backed away from him, shivering from the leftover snow and cold still on his jacket. After making himself comfortable, the two cubs go off to the living room, where Cassie and her sister were playing with wooden blocks with the alphabet and numbers on them.

The cubs were helping her baby sister place the blocks to make up words the two of them knew how to spell like “clock”, “tree”, “pebble” and so on. They didn’t know if Tammy understood what they were spelling but she played with the blocks plenty, getting a hang of what the cubs themselves were doing. And copied them. 

	“Wow, she’s leaning fast!” Thomas said, seeing her friend's sister spell out the word “Pie”, one of the words the two of them had used sometime during their play time together. 

	“Yeah, I’ve been teaching her how to make all kinds of words! At least some of the best ones I know how to do anyway” Cassie said, a hint of pride in her tone of voice. “We could try and teach her how to make some of the harder ones later. Besides, it helped me with my spelling tests. Tough Mrs.Dalie sure doesn’t make it easy to pass them.” Cassie said as she shook a rattle at her sister, getting her attention and making the toddler laugh.

	“I know. I have her too and they’re so hard! I’m just glad she didn’t give us any homework over the break or anything like that. No more practicing with my mom for a while.” Thomas couldn’t help but dread the idea of coming back to school for another spelling lesson from her. She had a reputation of being very stern with her students and not making any of the tests for her easy. 

	“You don’t have to study?! She gave my class 10 words to learn to spell by the time we get back!” The fox shot her friend an annoyed look, puffing her cheeks up in anger as she realized he didn’t have to do any dumb studying but she had to.

	“Hey, you’ll be able to help your sister learn more with all the extra work.” Thomas could see his friends' fluffy orange fur stand on end at the comment.

Before Cassie could fire back with something clever, the two of them heard Mrs.Nichols call out to the both of them from the kitchen. Cassie’s mother came out, pocket book in hand and her phone in hand. 

She looked like a much older version of her. A tall fox with bright orange skin, dark fur along her arms, legs and the tip of her tail. She wore a simple outfit of a pair of blue jeans, a dark red shirt with some kind of writing on it and comfortable looking gray sneakers. Despite how young she looked, she was somewhere around the 30s but looked more like a teenager than an actual parent. 

	“Sorry kids, I have to go run a few errands.” She took a swig from her Styrofoam coffee cup before tossing it into the recycling bin back in the kitchen. “I shouldn’t be gone longer than an hour, maybe a little over but no less than ten minutes, top. I need the both of you to watch out for Tammy while I’m gone, okay? It's pretty close to her nap time so she should fall asleep pretty soon. Cassie, you know what to do when she’s asleep, okay?”

	“Yes mom!” Cassie said with a smile.

	“That’s my girl!” Mrs.Nichols turned to Thomas, wearing the usual warm smile that his best friend gets hers from. “Thomas, I hope you don’t mind. Just something came up and I shouldn’t be too long, okay?

	“No, not at all! I’m just happy to be here and help Cassie out!”

	“Wonderful! Since you're both so good, I might come back with a pizza IF you both do a good job!” Mrs.Nichols looked at the two cubs' eyes practically bug out of their heads at the mention of “pizza”.  If there was one food the two of them enjoyed a ton, it was pizza. They even had the idea of saving up a bunch of money together and having her order it for them. She knew they’re smart and being as sweet as they are, they deserve something special while she’s out.

	“Can we get chicken?!”

	“And pepperoni?!

	“And pineapples?!”

	“Only if the two of you are good and watch the house AND Tammy while I’m gone. I’m gonna lock the door behind me and you both know my cell phone number, right?” They both nodded. “Good! And you have the emergency phone in your room if you need to call me and the landline.

	“We’ll be okay mom, we promise!”

	“Yeah, on our best behavior!”

The older fox had to stifle a laugh as she watched the cubs look at each other excitedly as the thought of pizza filled their minds. Something so hot and delicious during the cold winter days sounded like a dream to them. The steam from the cheese, the tangy sauce, the rich flavor of meat in every bite… 

	“Alright, I’ll be right back! Love you both!” Cassie’s mom blew a kiss to her daughters and Thomas before heading out the front door. The cubs quickly went to the closest window by the door and tried to be sneaky as they heard the roar of the SUV’s engine before the car pulled out of the driveway and drove along down the road.

	“You ready?” Cassie asked, with a smile .

	“Yeah!” Thomas nodded, his own smile present.

With Cassie’s mother gone and only her little sister around to see them, the two cubs could finally have the fun they've been missing out on for the last few months. Between school and not having any real time alone with each other, they’ve had to hold out on doing what they’ve wanted to do. But now they had at least an hour or so together before Cassie’s mom comes back, with a pizza as well!

Not wanting to waste a minute, Cassie and Tommy began stripping off their clothes right then and there, taking them with them as they moved back to the living room. Tammy was minding her own business, playing with her toys while the two older cubs were busying doing their own very personal thing. 

Thomas took note of his friend's exposed body. Her belly fur was much lighter than the rest of her body, nearing a kind of dark reddish cream color. The Racoon noticed that the color covered most of the front part of her body, mostly in the area hidden by her normal clothes. Even from the last time they did something similar just a few months ago, it looks so… Soft. Like it would make for a perfect pillow to rest his head on. 

Cassie wasn’t too far off from thinking the same thing. His own fluffy fur looked like the perfect thing to rest her head on. So inviting and dark, like the night sky. His fur darkened around his hands and feet similar to her own, but slightly harder to notice. His bushy tail looked like a big puffy cloud. She honestly wanted to snuggle it from just how big and chubby it looked. But she did notice  that he was wearing something different about her friend. 

	“Like the new big boy underwear?” He asked with a smile. 

	“I do! And it looks like Tammy does as well!” Cassie laughed as she pointed to her baby sister who looked at the two cubs, cooing at them without a care in the world. Cassie’s baby sister  didn’t know or understand what the cubs plan was for the two of them. 

The toddler watched the proudly displayed Tommy, showing off his new underwear turn his black fur red when Cassie pulled his undies down, exposing his little noodle for the sisters to see.

	“Wh-HEY!” Thomas turned to see Cassie was about to join her friend in his nude state. Thomas watched as she slipped off her indigo and pink underwear, showing off her little slit for her best friend and little sister to see.

	“What, that’s what girls have between their legs? Does it… Does it hurt?” Thomas couldn’t stop looking at it as he tried to figure out what he was looking at. Just like the rest of her body, it was surrounded by thin cream colored fur that had slight hints of her foxy brown fur. It was small, just like it but the little cub didn’t know how to really compare the size. 

	“No it doesn’t,silly! This is what every girl has between their legs, just like you and you boys have those weird looking weenies between your legs!” Cassie pointed at his crotch, just to emphasize her point. Thomas didn’t exactly understand why, but her calling his privates weird seemed to sting his male pride, even if he didn’t know what that was or meant. All he knew he felt a little hurt. Cassie could tell she had hurt her friend’s a little with her comment. “But yours is the only one I wanna see!”

Thomas tried to hide it but hearing her say that… It made him feel better. He shot her a smile back, as if saying “thank you” without actually saying it for her being a good friend to actually apologize for her mistake. 

	“And I only want to see yours Cassie.” He confided back to her, smiling with the slightest hint of a blush from saying it out loud. “I know it's been forever since we got to do something like this and I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a really long time now.” 

Cassie approached her friend, pulling him into a big hug. Thomas didn’t know why he did it but he ended up catching a big whiff of her long brown hair. It reminded him of a lot of pineapples and green apples bundled together and a bunch of other fruity smells. It was really sweet. But unlike the times he’s ever smelled something like that, he felt really happy. 

	‘She smells so nice…’ He thought to himself as she felt her warm body heat on his own.

	“And I really wanted to see yours Thomas! No one else's ever!” Cassie pulled away, beaming with that same smile that left Thomas heart skip a beat and his privates twitch a little, sending a kind of shock through his system he wasn’t familiar with. “Uh oh.” Thomas' heart skipped another beat.

	“W-whats wrong?” He asked with a hint of fear.

	“Tammy wants to go night night.”  Thomas turned to see Cassie’s younger sister yawning and curing up on the ground, sucking on her pacifier. “Hold on, let me take her to her crib and we can be alone.”

	“O-okay.” He stuttered. 

Cassie grabbed her sister carefully, making sure to keep her head up properly, hold her and took her to her bed room farther back in the room, leaving Thomas alone.

Alone for a few minutes, Thomas had to think about what just happened a few minutes ago. Sniffy Cassie’s hair, the scent of apples all over his nose. How sweet it was and made him feel all warm inside. Especially in his nether regions. That weird tingle that felt really new but not bad. He didn’t know how to describe it exactly. The only way he could really describe it was like the hug he got from her earlier. Really warm. Really happy. Just all of that wrapped together in a big foxy shaped ribbon… 

	“Okay I’m back! What's wrong?” She noticed her friend staring off to space before shaking his head to bring himself back to reality, putting the hug of his mind for a second.

	“O-oh nothings wrong!” He replied, reassuring her with a smile. “Hey, while we wait for your mom to come back, how about we go grab something to snack on?”

	“Oooh that sounds good! I’m saving room for pizza so not too much, okay?”

	“Okay!”

The now naked cub couple went to the kitchen, looking around for something tasty to snack on and keep themselves full on until they got their reward of some hot and tasty custom pizza for them being good kids. Opening the cupboards, they took note of what had as far as options. Crackers, chips, raisins. Thomas didn’t know what he wanted until his eyes landed on one of his all time favorite foods in the whole wide world.

	“Peanut butter!” He exclaimed. The excited little cub raised the jar in the air, as if showing off his capture to not just Cassie but the whole house.

	“That does sound really good!” Cassie made a grab for the jar, only for Thomas to pull it out of reach slightly. “Whats wrong, don’t want to share?”

	“Well… Cassie, can I ask you to do something?” The fox cub looked at her friend as he fidgeted in place, holding the jar closer to his chest, like he was trying to hide it or protect it from something. 

	“Sure, what did you have in mind? You know I’d love to do anything with you!”

	“Well… One of the bigger kids ahead of us said that licking peanut butter off stuff is supposed to make it taste better. So do you think we could put some on each other and lick it off each other a little bit? I-if you don’t that’s okay! We can just eat it like normal!”

Thomas, being the more careful of the two, was already ready to throw the plan out the window, grab some spoons and enjoy just a couple of spoonfuls of his favorite snack. It was only when Cassie grabbed his hand, carefully, while looking him in the eyes did he soften up.

	“That sounds like fun! I’d love to try it!” She answered, bubbling with the same kind of energy he’s always known her to have. 

Thomas didn’t know how to express it. All he knew was a wave of relief came over him as the tiny fox told him that she wanted to do what he wanted. Not just because it was something new and weird, but because she was his true and closest friend. Even when his brothers say or do something weird like call him and her boyfriend and girlfriend. Or telling mom and dad that his “girlfriend” came over to visit. She’s not that. She’s just his friend who happens to be a girl. He didn’t stop them however. The racoon cub was told by his mother the best way to get them to stop doing it was to just ignore them. So he did, day and night and just like that, they slowly calmed down on annoying him and calling him and Cassie a couple.

Didn’t mean they stopped however… 

	“G-great! L-let’s start!” 

Thomas opened the container, seeing he didn’t need to peel the top off since it had been used before. He looked inside and saw there weren’t that many scoops missing. At most maybe three or four. Probably when Cassie’s mom or dad made her a lunch or something.

	“I’ll go one time and you go one time, okay? And remember, not too much! We need to save room for the pizza okay?” Cassie said with a stern look on her face. Thomas almost wanted to laugh but he knew that’d only make her angry while she’s trying to be serious. “Since this is your idea, you go first.”

	“Okay Cassie!” 

Thomas could feel his heartbeat in his chest. Every pump was stronger and enough to make his little hand shake as she dug two fingers into the jar. Gathering a decent amount onto his fingers. Not too much, yet not too little either. Thomas looked at her as she patiently waited for him to make the first move. Steadying his hand, Thomas placed the peanut butter on her left nipple, covering the small nub completely with the dollop of his favorite snack.

Cassie looked down at the spot he picked and decided to copy him. She gathered a small mount and covered his nipple in the substance, laughing at the face he made as the creamy stuff touched him. She could even feel him shutter under her touch until she pulled away.

	“Feels weird doesn’t it?” She laughed as the racoon cub tried to regain his composure and continue on with what they plan on doing. 

Thomas did it again, this time smearing the peanut butter across her other nipple. Her otherwise cream colored fur clashed with the colors but it didn't look bad or anything. It just made her look more inviting to him. When he was done, Cassie took the jar and copied him again, smearing the sticky substance into his final exposed nipple, leaving the cub in a daze as he tried to suppress a weird sound that threatened to come out of his mouth.

	‘Why do I wanna keep making that sound when she touches me there?’ He asked himself, feeling more exposed than before, even when they’re both naked. 

	“Okay, after this, no more, okay? Remember-”

	“Yeah, we need to save room. I didn’t forget. I want that pizza to!” Cassie laughed as she saw Thomas blush grow. She knew what he wanted to do and she was more than willing to let him. His fingers shook but before he could think of a new spot, Cassie grabbed his hand with the last bit of peanut butter on it and brought it down to her crotch, smearing a decent amount of the edible spread onto her lips like it was the most natural thing ever.

	“There! How’d it feel?” She asked, laughing as the heat on his face grew bigger.

	“It felt… Warm. Really warm. And soft.” In truth, it was the only way he could describe it. Warm and soft. The young cub didn’t really have any better way of putting it. It just felt good to touch. Not in a bad way but just… Well good.

	“Now it's my turn!” Cassie gathered her last dip of the stuff and instead of just smearing it on like Thomas did, She coated the inside of her hand in Peanut butter and grabbed his member. He let out a gasp as she pulled on it gently, covering most of, if not all of it in peanut butter. The act left Thomas trembling and his knees weak from the surprise of the action, not just the feeling he got from it. The tingle from before came back and was slightly stronger but not by too much. The surprise alone was enough to make the hairs on his body stand on end. 

	“That must have felt good huh? You looked like you really enjoyed that!” She laughed, licking the remains on her palm up. “Now the playing field is even! Should I go first?” She asked.

	“Y-yeah.” He answered.”

Cassie wasted no time. She got on her knees and moved her face against Thomas’s chest.The fox cub stuck her tongue out and licked the entirety of his left nipple, taking it all into his mouth like a baby would. She ran her tongue over the snack covered areola, making sure it was as spotless as possible before she was done. Thomas on the other hand was whimpering from not the pain but the weird pleasure he got from it all the while. Her tongue felt incredibly smooth, warm and wet. It reminded the little racoon of his mom kissing him on the cheek a little.

After she was done, Cassie went to the other nipple, sucking on it into her mouth and running the entirety of it across it. She lather and cleaned every inch, licking it up like it was a sucker. This time, Thomas had to hold her head in place as she licked his nipple clean. It wasn’t to make her stop, but he didn’t know what else to do from the overstimulation other than to just hold on.

	“It does taste a bit better when you lick it off!” Cassie said as she pulled herself away from her friend. Thomas had to shake himself out of his daze. “Come on, come try it!” Cassie opened her arms up to her friend, offering him the opportunity to give it a chance like she did. 

Not wanting to pass up on the chance to see if it was true or not, Thomas got on his knees and pressed his mouth against his friend's chest. He gave the pink nipple a gentle lick, feeling how soft it was under the delicious snack he’d put on it. Cassie let out a sort of delayed giggle as she felt him eating up the sticky snack.

	“That feels nice!” She laughed as Thomas focused on eating up his snack. 

Just like with the first one, Thomas switched over to her other niple and began eatting it all off. While he was doing that, he focused more on the act rather than the food. Feeling his friends’ young body. The sweet scent of her fluffy fur. The more he did it the more good he felt about it. It wasn't until he was done and looked down did he notice exactly how much fun he was having with Cassie. As he pulled away, a single line of drool connecting the two of them, Thomas was proudly displaying his newly formed erection. 

It throbbed and pulsated so much the little cub could have said it hurt from ust how strong it felt. 

	“Ooohhh why’s it doing that?” Cassie asked as she pointed at the young man’s slightly bigger boyhood, giggling as she watched it move on its own.

	“My dad calls them a boner. He says guys get them for a lot of reasons but won’t tell me why. He says I should be proud of it or something but not to show it off. I don’t know.” Thomas said, arms crossed as he tried to figure out what his father meant. 

	“I have an idea!!” Cassie yelled, startling her friend.

	“W-what is it?

Cassie laid down on the carpeted floor. She patted the ground beside her, gesturing for Thomas to lay down right beside her. Before he could Cassie made a twisting motion with her fingers, telling him to lay down the opposite way of her.

	“If we lay down like this, all we have to do is turn to our sides and we can lick up the peanut butter off each other at the same time!” If Cassie could see Thomas’s eyes, she would have seen them grow to the size of dinner plates as he realized what she meant.

	“Oooooooh! Thats really smart Cassie!” He exclaimed.

	“Mmhm!” She nodded, even if he couldn’t see. “Let’s go ahead!”

Not needing any other go ahead, Thomas stick his tongue out and began eating out Cassie while the little fox took his throbbing cock into his mouth, licking and sucking bits of the thick snack off bit by bit. Despite not knowing what they were doing exactly, Cassie and Thomas were nothing but incredibly gentle to each other, not wanting to cause any harm or discomfort. 

Cassie used her tongue around the tip of his penis to push some of the skin back, revealing the hot pink tip of the head. It didn’t taste like anything or too weird to her. It just reminded her of Thomas. Just his smell. Not wanting to miss any bits of the snack, the foxy little girl took the entire length into her mouth, leaving her best friend surprised but not at all in pain. In fact, he felt good. Really good.

Thomas, not wanting to be the only one to feel good, used his tongue more, gently pushing her folds apart and licking up the remains of peanut butter from her smooth skin. The normally shy racoon felt movement on his tongue but since Cassie wasn’t complaining, he just went with it. It must have meant he was doing a good job. 

Just like a pair of popsicles during the summer or suckers after a doctors visit, the cub couple licked, sucked and enjoyed the taste of each other and the funny feelings they were getting from the exchange rather than just a simple snack. The weird but not outright wrong feelings that washed over them wasn’t enough to make them stop. On the contrary, they both just wanted to keep going.

Cassie pulled Tommy’s hips closer and she felt him do the same, pushing each other's noses into the others' respective areas. 

Lick, lick, lick.

But like all good things, the couple decided to stop as to not get caught in the middle of their fun alone time. 

	“That was tasty AND fun!” Cassie said as she licked up the remains of peanut butter off her face.

	“Yeah! Your tongue felt really good for some reason!”

	“We should go get cleaned up. So mom doesn’t ask why we smell like a peanut butter sandwich” Cassie laughed before pulling Thomas by the hand and going upstairs to the bathroom.

Inside, the two of them managed to make themselves comfortable with a shower, making the water lukewarm so steam doesn’t build up and leave any more evidence than needed. As they stood in the shower and washed, both cubs lathered the other up, making sure to wash away any hint of evidence of their fun together.Cassie made sure to pay extra attention to Thomas’s big bushy black and gray tail and he did to her fluffy chest fur.

As the two of them dried off, put their clothes back on, they could hear the sound of the SUV rolling up to the driveway.

Casssie told Thomas to head to the living room without her. A few seconds later, Cassie came back with her baby sister, still asleep and curled up in her arms before laying her gently onto the carpet with them.

	“I’m back!” Her mother called out, hauling a few bags of groceries and-

	“PIZZA!” The cubs called out, sniffing the tangy sauce and melted cheese well before hearing Mrs.Nichols call out to them. 

The good kids went to help her bring stuff into the kitchen before taking theirs slices into the living room table, happily eating away and enjoying some cartoons. As Cassie’s mom was putting everything away, she noticed a jar of peanut butter sitting out, closed.

	“Huh…” She looked over at the jar, seeing it was sealed up and closed. “Don’t remember leaving this out.” Putting it out of her mind, the dutiful mother placed it and the many other groceries up before heading to pick her baby girl and put her to bed.

Just a relaxing winter day between friends.
